Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales

Chapter 568: Chapter 568: The Original Female Lead’s Counterattack 3

”Yuan Chun, what’s the matter? Hurry up and eat, or you’ll be late.” Suddenly, Fang Tingting, sitting next to Yuan Chun, gave her a tug.

Yuan Chun looked down at the bowl of wild vegetable porridge in her hand, and then slowly swallowed it.

The long-lost bitter taste almost made Yuan Chun throw up. She struggled hard to finish the bowl of wild vegetable porridge.

After washing and tidying up the bowl, she picked up the straw hat and walked at the back of the group of educated youths.

Yan Hui slowed his pace and slipped a warm egg into her hand, his face serious as he whispered, ”Take it and eat by the side, don’t let anyone see.”

”What about you, do you have more?”

Yuan Chun imitated the Host’s tone, showing concern for her crush.

Yan Hui kept a straight face, looking ahead, ”I ate one. This time I traded for twenty eggs, enough for us to eat for ten days.”

Yuan Chun blushed and lowered her head, ”Eldest Brother Yan, I’m lucky to have you with me, or I wouldn’t know how to survive these years.”

”You’re my wife, it’s my duty to take care of you.”

”We haven’t gotten married yet, I’m not your wife.”

”If you won’t marry me, who else do you want to marry?” The man said sternly, glaring at her, ”The leader said that dating not aimed at marriage is hooliganism; are you trying to play games with me?”

”Alright, I’m your wife, Eldest Brother Yan. How about we get married earlier? Why don’t we take a leave today to get the marriage certificate?”

Today is the day the Host was framed.

Yuan Chun didn’t want to go to the riverside to wash vegetables and get harmed by 178.

The village the Host was sent to is very close to the provincial capital, just in the suburbs. This village has been living by farming vegetables for generations, busy all year round growing vegetables to sell for money.

The grain fields are few, and the grain grown is barely enough for the villagers to have a full meal. If they have to pay taxes with grain, the villagers would starve, so every year the grain harvested is kept for the villagers to eat, and the tax is paid with money instead.

The remaining money is calculated into work points and divided among the villagers and the educated youths.

Last year, the Host received over a hundred yuan.

Unfortunately, the Host was an honest person. She sent all the money back home after her family pretended to be poor.

Actually, thinking about it, you’ll realize that her parents both worked, and both her elder brothers had jobs too. How could they be short of money? It’s nothing but the parents’ preference for sons over daughters, wanting to drain their daughter’s resources to support the sons.

Yan Hui paused his steps, ”I’ll go find the brigade leader to ask for leave, and we need the brigade leader to write a marriage application proof for us.”

”I’ll go too.”

Yuan Chun and Yan Hui reached the brigade office and saw villagers lined up to collect farming tools, with the educated youths at the back.

Wang Shufang, the Host of 178, waved at Yuan Chun, ”Yuan Chun, come quickly, stand in front of me.”

Yuan Chun smiled radiantly, ”No need, I’m taking leave today to go to the city with Eldest Brother Yan for something.”

Wang Shufang’s face stiffened for a moment, then returned to normal quickly. Nobody noticed her odd expression except Yuan Chun who kept her eyes on her. She deliberately looked at Yan Hui and then grinned mischievously, asking, ”Yuan Chun, what are you and Yan Hui doing in the city? The green vegetables are sprouting these days, it’s the busy season. You’re not planning to skive off work and go play in the city, are you?”

”Wang Shufang, don’t talk nonsense. Yan Hui and I have never shirked work; we have something really important to do in the city. I won’t tell you now; I see Yan Hui went to the office with the brigade leader.”

Yuan Chun took off running toward the brigade leader’s office.
